Taiwan Trip Day 4 - 16 May 2008

Leonard and Shawn left for singapore that evening while the rest of us took a 2hrs train to HUALIAN.

TAROKO GORGE!!!

Breathtaking scenery..

One of the Trail that we went on..

Bending over to look at the meander.. I like rocks and mountains and rivers.. especially so because I learnt about all of them in geography last time.

Cool Me!

We are surrounded by rocks!!! n mountains!!!

Check out the falling rocks.. Must be careful because of e recent seismic activity in the region.. the plates cause shifting in the mountains' rocks.. our tour guide said.

V-Shaped Valley..

Alighted frm the car for another trail.. Tunnel of Nine Turns.. This is at a higher region of the mountain range.. that's why the water flow is more rapid.

With a rock structure that they say looks like someone famous.. but i dun see it. Nonetheless, took it coz i think e view is nice.

More photos taken in the tunnel of 9 turns.. Didn't take alot of photos.. Took more videos instead.. coz I think video tells more abt the surrounding rather than just a photo.

After spending half the day travelling to hualian, half a day at Taroko, we hopped back onto the car of our ming shu's owner and head to Qi Xing Tan.

Qi1 Xing1 Tan2 - Sea with Stoney shore, instead of sandy shore. This unusual phenomenon is due to the geographic activities in the region.. the coastline is lined with mountain ranges and the rocks are from the mountains. The water is not suitable for swimming because the decend is very steep.. But lining this coast is the habitat of thousands of wildlife dolphins and whales.. and I was lucky to see 2 species of the wildlife dolphins when we went out to sea the next day. Photos will be up later because my cam died and most of the photos are taken with others cam.
